Atletico Madrid have revived talks with Tottenham over a loan deal for midfielder Pierre Emile Hojbjerg with an obligation to buy.
Talks are ongoing over a fee around £40million.
Manchester United were reportedly weighing up a move for Hojbjerg in the remaining days of the transfer window.
The Red Devils are looking to conduct late business in the window that shuts on Friday with Erik ten Hag desperate to reinforce his midfield with further bodies.
Hojbjerg hasn't been the first name on United's shortlist but could be braced for a late move after the club were offered the chance to open talks over a deal, as reported by the Telegraph.
